This is absolutely a static electricity issue and not power consumption. Make sure to not use this on carpet. Trying to plug this into another outlet on a different breaker won’t help much. It may assist in reducing the issue, but it won’t solve it. I’ve been fighting this issue for a while. If I use sneakers, it will get really bad. However, if I walk in my socks or Adidas Slides, it’s much better. I’m now trying an anti static spray on the tread and the floor. It seems to be helping quite a bit. It’s Sprayway Anti Static Spray. We’ll see how well this goes.
I’m glad I read this comment. I’ve been looking into getting one but majority of my house is carpeted
@@dreamie9868I would buy an anti static mat for under the treadmill. That will make a significant difference.
I think that de screen turning black is the built-up static electricity. You can try to use an anti-static wristband. You have to connect it to earth via a wall socket or heat radiator (at least in the Nederland does are connected to earth. ElectroBoom just release a video about that. I hope it can help you fix this problem! Thank you for the review, I'm going to try is my self!
I am in the process of researching portable treadmills. I appreciate this thorough review. I would think that for the money you would have more pro's than cons. $599 is not in my budget. I am retired and do not need it for work or anything, just want to get steps in and be more active. I'm on 5' and 126 lbs and want to get to 117-115 if possible so I do not think i need a higher priced model. You have enlightened me in different aspects of the portable treadmill, thank you! Have a blessed day! Oh and I did watch your video of your first portable treadmill, that too was very informative.
Oh hey I use one of these! I've only tripped the circuit breaker twice and I have a full on gaming pc with a couple monitors 😅
Just a tip, if using your mouse is ever uncomfortable you might want to try a trackball mouse! I got the logitech m575 and it's way easier to click stuff while walking, great productivity booster and it's super comfortable.
I've had the same issue with my compact treadmill (monitors blacking out, etc). At first I thought it was about the treadmill using too much electricity like you mentioned, so I tried using a super long extension cord plugged at the other side of the apartment but it was still happening. By searching online, I found out that it might be more of a static electricity problem than a power consumption problem. To test it out, I ordered 2 of those anti-static wrist strap (or grounding wristband) that people use when they handle computer parts so they don't damage them with static electricity. They come with a wire that clips to something metal in order to ground any excess electricity. I tried using 2 of these while walking on the pad (one of each wrist clipped to the metal frame of my standing desk) and it actually worked. For a little while at least. After walking for about an hour or so, my monitors starting blinking again, as if static electricity managed to build back up over time.
So yeah, just some info you might be interested in looking into. I'd love to walk more while working but it seems that I'd need to find a walking pad with very good motor insulation to block the static electricity (or something). Curious to see if you'll find a better solution to problem!
Ooh this is super interesting! I will definitely check this out because I would love to solve this issue 🙏. Thanks for sharing!
@@MissSarahEK My monitor sporadically drops out on dry days (= decreased air conductivity) when I move on my (synthetic fiber) chair, so this is most probably an ESD/EMI problem. No surprise: the moving conveyor belt is constantly causing friction, thus, generating charge (like you rub a balloon with your hair). This can be several thousands of volts. So the threadmill is hopefully well grounded... (or if not: grounding might need to be improved, as wyel suggested).
I think the problem is that your metal frame is not grounded. So the is more "space"to build up the static electricity, but it can't go away. Try to connect it to an earth wire in the house. You can buy special power socket plugs to connect is to earth. If you try that, I think your problems are solved.
Great vid! Just a random question, what's the ref of your desk chair? It looks quite discrete I like it! Thanks a lot!
It is so cool how small it is.
Thank you for this review! Unfortunately the code isn’t working for me :(
Can't believe this review did not talk about calibration, it has been hell since I got it
Oh wow I thought I was the only one with this issue
Circuits breakers have different power ratings and differently reacts on pike power consumption. Good electrician can test and advice. But if you like to experiment - try to plug kettle, toaster or freezer in that outlet.
Good ideas! Thanks for watching :)
Code isn't working with current sale.
Thanks for flagging! Unfortunately have retired the original code but have replaced it with a new one:
My original treadmill - shrsl.com/4dx9r + use code WPGIFT for an extra $20 off
My new treadmill - shrsl.com/4dx9q + use code WPGIFT for extra $20 off
ur code doesnt work?
Thanks for flagging! I’ve reached out to walking pad to look into the issue so hopefully I can figure out how to get it to work soon 🤞🏻
@@MissSarahEK sounds good! thanks
Yep I’m trying to use the code today to order and it won’t work.
